If you want to work with the SMILA extensions for Eclipse BPEL designer, you need to check out the bundles from <tt>trunk/tooling</tt>. Currently, the required bundles are:

−

−

*<tt>org.eclipse.smila.processing.designer.model</tt>

−

*<tt>org.eclipse.smila.processing.designer.ui</tt>

−

−

To compile them you need additional bundles from the [http://www.eclipse.org/bpel Eclipse BPEL Designer] in your target platform. See [[SMILA/BPEL Designer]] for more information.

Revision as of 11:25, 21 October 2012

This HowTo describes the necessary steps for setting up a SMILA development environment.

Hint:We recommend to check out the trunk/core as opposed to importing the projects through IDE SVN integrations. By doing so, you can easily get new projects just by updating your working copy and reimporting the sources.

Hint:: New projects should always be added to the .psf file so you can import them (as before): right click on .psf file and click on "Import Project Set...", be sure to click "No To All" to the question whether to overwrite existing projects in the workspace, otherwise it will check out everything again instead of ignoring the projects, that are already checked out. If projects are removed you have to remove them manually from the workspace, this can't be handled via .psf file.

After having imported the source code into your workspace, it will show up a lot of errors. Don't worry, they'll disappear after the next steps below.

Defining the target platform

The target platform defines the set of bundles and features that you are developing against. SMILA ships a Target Definition File that you can open in your IDE to configure the target platform automatically. This file contains all the references needed for developing SMILA with Eclipse Juno (Release 4.2).

Using the target platform provided by SMILA

Open the file SMILA.releng/devenv/SMILA.target with the Target Definition editor. Eclipse starts downloading the referenced bundles/features which it tells you by stating "Resolving Target Definition" in its status bar. Be patient, this will take quite a while. After it has finished, you can click the link "Set as Target Platform" on the top right of the Target Definition editor. Doing so will cause Eclipse to start re-compiling the sources and all error markers should be gone when finished.

Defining the target platform manually

Launching SMILA in Eclipse IDE

If you've checked out SMILA's trunk correctly, you should have a project called SMILA.launch in your workspace. This project contains the SMILA's launch configuration for Eclipse IDE. To start SMILA directly in your Eclipse IDE, just follow the steps below:

Click Run--> Debug Configurations and expand OSGI Framework.

Select the SMILA launch file.

Click Debug. If everything works fine, you will get an output in the Console view similar to the following:

You're done

Congratulations! You've just successfully checked out and configured your SMILA development environment and you can now start developing your own bundles.

Additional steps

The following steps may be needed for special purposes. If you are a SMILA user who only wants to integrate an own component you won't need them.

Delta Pack

(only needed for building the software outside of eclipse IDE)

For building the software you may need to add a "Delta Pack" to an Eclipse SDK installation. You can download it from the here. After downloading, you can copy the contained plugins and features in your eclipse installation.
